printing onto dark transfer paper.
have been tearing my hair out trying to do a sample logo for a person over the last week onto dark transfer paper.
colours coming out washed looking. Tryed everything i could think of, diff papers,times,pressure ect.

then BAM...thought back to JSR post about inks changing over time - took OFF the profile i got made - put it onto stock photo mode, fiddled with the printer settings....... yes. We got one seriously bright and vivid transfer logo.

now,its either the inks changing over time or these dam transfers have a whole different print setting.:rolleyes:

it had to be one of the two paul......had to go and buy some HAIR REGAIN from chemist lol .

have saved this profile/setting for future use.
when i go back to mugs/mats ect, its back to old (your) profile - otherwise i get way over saturation.
